Apple released the iPod Mini today at MacWorld SF 2004.
The new iPods come in 5 colors (silver, gold, blue, pink, and green) has a smaller form factor and offers 4GB for $249. Also bundled with the units are a belt clip and armband.
The new form factor iPod will be shipping next month in the U.S. and Worldwide in April.
